Biography
Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan was born on 4 April 1979 in Mombasa, Kenya, and he joined al-Qaeda in the 1990s. He was involved in the 1998 US embassy bombings in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania and Mombasa, Kenya, and in 2002 he took part in attacks on a hotel and an airliner in Mombasa. Nabhan's involvement with al-Qaeda led to his promotion to lead their cell in Somalia at the same time as the Somali Civil War, and on 2 March 2008 the US Navy fired two missiles at an al-Qaeda training camp in Dobley, targeting Nabhan. On 14 September 2009, two United States AC-130 attack helicopters attacked Nabhan and other al-Shabaab militants as they tried to drive in a car, and his body was captured by the Navy SEALs, later buried at sea.
